The beauty of hiring Sherman is you also get Rossley.

All I remember is everyone on this Board complaining about him ...
As my memory serves, CAL, Sherman was pretty solid on offense. We were weak at RB at times, and we lost some very good-to-great players due to freakish neck/spinal injuries, so at times our offense would suffer due to circumstances like these. But there were also times when we could rush the ball, and Favre had good protection.
After Holmgren left town, I guess Favre essentially thought he was running the show, and Sherman either couldn't or wouldn't contain him, and Favre lost any self-discipline he had left.
However, Sherman was hopelessly lost on defense. Between bad drafting, worse FA acquisitions, and extending vets that promptly faded into oblivion, the defense was atrocious. Many times we would find ourselves down by 2 TD's before people had found their seats for the opening kickoff.
I have no idea if Sherman would be a guy to develop a young QB; my guess would be probably not, but I would have no problem having him as an OL/Ass't HC -type role, if not as the OC.
IMHO, the Bucs 'legacy' has always been a strong defense. I'd like to see them get back to that. It seems like your defense hasn't had an overhaul/rebuild since the mid-to-late 90's.
ESPN is reporting the Bucs will hire Greg Shiano from Rutgers. Maybe this puts Shermy as the OC in Miami and the GB offensive staff stays put.
This morning I heard Chip Kelly accpeted the Buc's job, informed Oregon, Oregon gave the HC job to another coach already on the staff, then Kelly changed his mind, asked for his job at Oregon, and the guy that was given the HC job was asked to step down. And that this all took place in a day.

Anybody know much about Schanio/Rutgers coach? I know he developed the Rutgers program and Miami missed him when he left but is he a good game coach? Will he make the Buc's O/QB better?
CALBuc will blow a gasket with this noname hire.
Leroy Butler is looking to get into coaching as well

Mike Sherman is joining Philbin in Miami as the new OC
Where does that leave poor Tom Rossley? Coaching the punters?
Wonder if Kick Ass is going to try and convince Holmgren to lend him the company jet for the weekend.
Chilly dog is back in business, boys!
Schiano huh? Well, I have heard he has had success at Rutgers. He is a defensive-oriented coach and this is certainly an interesting hire given that they tried to get an offensive guru inboard in Chip Kelly first.
I don't see how you fire Gruden to get to Raheem Morris to Schiano. That's not an upgrade in my opinion. Well, my beloved Bucs are going to be climbing uphill for the next five years.

Sherman going to Miami. The shuffle pass will be back in business on 3rd and goal from the 4.
I'm actually happy for Sherman, and Philbin too for that matter. Hope the Fins have success, cept if they ever play the Pack.

Wonder if he realized that when he accepted the position?
Breaks your heart doesn't it that your favorite coach sucks so much.
Do you really think a true Viking fan would choose Chilly as their favorite all-time Viking coach?
By the rest of your take on stuff, yes you would.
